Half will be normal half will be Spangle, half will be yellowface, half will be dominant Pied. All these traits are dominant so half the chciks will have a chance to get the dominant gene. As you can have more than one dominant gene on a bird you can get a yellowface dominant pied spangle. So I would ecpect the same in single dominant genes. ie Yellow faces, Dominant Pieds, Spangles, and Normal blues. Add to this the possible splits and anything could come up. Link to comment

That would mean both birds are split to greywing. Hope your Father inlaw is going good. Interesting she had a greywing once before with a totally different cockbird. Fatherinlaw spent the night on a trolley in emergency and wasnt admitted to a room till 2pm this afternoon.......not impressed : thats 16 hours of discomfort for the old boy. He awaits tests and cardiology results. I forgot the dominant pied it was late last night sorry about that50% dominant pied 50% norma I thought her marking where light because of the spangle gene if she is a greywing she would be a fullbody because her body coloring looks bright. Hope Ken's dad is okay today and look forward to pics when you have a chance. The greywing chick is appearing to be a possible cobalt or skyblue greywing. Others yet to feather, but we have some nice pieds in there and two youngest chicks have no feathers as yet. Link to comment

What was confusing is the markings started out grey and there is also pale blue with the grey on the top of wings. other chicks Edited June 4, 2007 by **KAZ** Link to comment
